Did you know that Daffodils (Narcissus jonquilla) are regarded as the 'Flower of the Gods'?
Narcissus is not only rare to find, as an absolute Essential Oil it offers a bouquet of benefits wrapped in fragrances that are rich, delicate, sweet and herbaceous. Aromatherapy, Jonquil Oil is used to help improve self-esteem, for relieving anxiety and frustration.
In History, the Narcissus flower was used to distract Persephone which gave Hades the chance to abduct her. It was an aphrodisiac to the Arabs whilst in India, it was mixed with rose, jasmine and sandalwood, before being applied to the body and entering the temples for prayers. In the past they were used for treating wounds and infections.
Daffodils correspond to the energy of Venus and the elements of water. Narcissus is a flower that calms, helps bring inner peace, hope as well as self-love. They represent renewal, new beginnings and rebirth.
As Daffodils bloom at the lunar New Year, it fortells good luck for the year ahead. Though a daffodil blooming alone is not so lucky.
Daffodils are the flower of March and are used to mark the 10th wedding anniversary! It's not surprising that a vase full of Daffodils can makes everyone feel happy!
